An insight into the Austrian Bearded Vulture pairs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A sad loss for the Pair Krumltal<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The female Alexa (Rauris; 1988) is known as the &#8220;grande dame of bearded vultures&#8221; across the Alpine population. \u00a0With 35 years and eight chicks successfully fledged, she is considered the oldest breeding bird in the Alps. Together with the male Andreas Hofer (Rauris; 1996), she was observed feeding her chick in January, which would become \u201cKruml9\u201d, but the bird sadly died, undetermined causes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>(Unknown) parents for the first time<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The parents of \u201cPr\u00e4graten2023\u201d, the first chick hatched in East Tyrol in the past 100 years, are yet to be determined. The first breeding attempts in the Pr\u00e4graten area were observed consecutively since 2018, but all failed. In 2021, a trio was formed though it rapidly dissolved in 2022. This year, finally, a pair settled in and successfully reared offspring. The male is probably Lea (Dorfertal, 2015), whilst the female remains unknown until genetic material is collected and analysed. The team suspects she can be El Dorado (Matrei i.O., 2001) or Joker (Mallnitz, 2003).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"707\" height=\"503\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/gschloess_Austria_adult-and-chick-in-the-nest_Bearded-Vulture.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35773\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/gschloess_Austria_adult-and-chick-in-the-nest_Bearded-Vulture.jpeg 707w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/gschloess_Austria_adult-and-chick-in-the-nest_Bearded-Vulture-300x213.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/gschloess_Austria_adult-and-chick-in-the-nest_Bearded-Vulture-18x12.jpeg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 707px) 100vw, 707px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Adult Bearded Vulture and its chick on the nest, Austria, 2023 \u00a9 Lehnert<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The most successful breeding pair in Austria<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Katschberg pair consisting of Romaris (Kals; 2007) and Hubertus2 (Kals; 2004) produced this season its 10<sup>th<\/sup> offspring. Since 2014, the pair has fledged chicks yearly, making them the most successful Bearded Vulture pair in Austria.

The female Ambo (Gastein; 2002) and the male Fortuna (Dorfertal; 2015) started breeding in mid-January 2023, with a hatchling confirmed in March. It is the first chick of this pair, although the female had previously produced offspring with the male Hubertus2 in Katschberg in 2012. As Ambo was displaced by Romaris, the current partner of Hubertus2, she has now found another pair and successfully fledged a chick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"699\" height=\"427\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/heiligenblut_Austria_Bearded-Vulture-juvenile_Petrikat.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35774\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/heiligenblut_Austria_Bearded-Vulture-juvenile_Petrikat.jpeg 699w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/heiligenblut_Austria_Bearded-Vulture-juvenile_Petrikat-300x183.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/heiligenblut_Austria_Bearded-Vulture-juvenile_Petrikat-18x12.jpeg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 699px) 100vw, 699px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bearded Vulture juvenile in Heiligenblut, Austria, 2023 \u00a9 Petrikat<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pair Mallnitz breeding successfully for the first time<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In late summer 2020, Charlie (Untersulzbachtal; 2016) and Felix2 (Debantal; 2014) moved from the Gastein Valley to the neighbouring area of Mallnitz in the south. The first breeding attempt recorded was in spring 2022, but the pair broke it off in mid-April, possibly due to Charlie&#8217;s young age. It was already late in the breeding season that good news came, as a clutch was detected in the nest by mid-February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pair Gschl\u00f6\u00df, the biggest surprise<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bearded Vulture pair in the Gschl\u00f6\u00dftal (Matrei in East Tyrol) was the biggest surprise of this breeding season! Although there were no signs of a hatched young bird during the field monitoring in the first half of March, it turned out in mid-May, to the surprise of all those involved in the project, that the pair, consisting of Glocknerlady (Heiligenblut; 2012) and Pinzgarus (Rauris; 2008), had provided for offspring for the first time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Bearded Vultures usually lay a second egg 5 to 7 days after the first, scientists suspect the second egg in Gschl\u00f6\u00dftal was laid much later. By analysing the chick\u2019s size and plumage colouration, it could be determined that the Gschl\u00f6\u00dftal young bird hatched in the second half of March. In mid-July, an East Tyrolean National Park ranger reported the first flight of the Gschl\u00f6\u00dftal fledgling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wild-hatched Bearded Vultures from Switzerland and Italy paired in \u00d6tztal.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In November 2022, the analysis of genetic material was conclusive: the \u00d6tztal pair is currently formed by the female Humboldt-Albula (2011; Switzerland) and the male Paolino-Zebru (2016; Italy). The first pair in Austria exclusively composed of wild-hatched Bearded Vultures. As young Bearded Vultures migrate and colonise new areas, new pairs are formed over time. The colonisation of the \u00d6tztal and neighbouring valleys is mainly from the west (Switzerland) and southeast (Parco Nazionale dello Stelvio \/ Stilfserjoch National Park).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pair started breeding in the \u00d6tztal in mid-January, and on 9 July, the young bird left the parental care and took off on its first flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pair Pitztal remains incognito<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bearded Vulture pair in the Pitztal Valley was detected by alpinists by the end of January, where they were seen carrying material to build their nest. The pair was confirmed some weeks later, and the first offspring was observed in mid-April. However, the identity of the adult birds is still unclear. As one carries a GPS transmitter that is no longer working, the team suspects it might be the male Lucky, released in 2016 in the Hohe Tauern National Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pair Lechtal<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the fourth time, the Bearded Vulture pair composed of Madagascar (Calfeisental; 2011) and Natura (Haute-Savoie; 2001) successfully produced offspring in Lechtal Valley, which was confirmed in mid-March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Towards a thriving Bearded Vulture population in the Alps<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The efforts to bring the Bearded Vulture back from extinction in the Alps <a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/es\/our-work\/reintroduction\/alpine-bearded-vulture\/\">started in the 1970s<\/a>, with a captive-breeding programme involving several zoos and the Richard Faust specialised breeding centre. The first four Bearded Vultures were released in 1986 in the Hohe Tauern National Park, and it took another eleven years for the first wild hatchlings to fledge successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Alpine Bearded Vulture population is steadily expanding every year. Given that it takes between 7 and 9 years for a Bearded Vulture to attain sexual maturity, many young vultures released over the past decade are now reaching the breeding stage. Ensuring the species&#8217; long-term survival is a commitment that requires time, endurance and cooperation among several partners. Both the field teams that steadily monitor the pairs and the specialists working in the Bearded Vulture Captive Breeding Network (<a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/es\/our-work\/captive-breeding\/bearded-vulture-eep\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bearded Vulture EEP<\/a>) are fundamental to the conservation of the species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"30211\" src=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-1024x768.png\" alt=\"One of the chicks that hatched during the Bearded Vulture Captive Breeding Season 2022\/23 \u00a9 Hansruedi Weyrich\" class=\"wp-image-30211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4-16x12.png 16w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/4.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">One of the chicks that hatched during the Bearded Vulture Captive Breeding Season 2022\/23 \u00a9 Hansruedi Weyrich<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"35051\" src=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Massimo-Prati-BV-released-in-Switzerland-2023_4-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35051\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Massimo-Prati-BV-released-in-Switzerland-2023_4-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Massimo-Prati-BV-released-in-Switzerland-2023_4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Massimo-Prati-BV-released-in-Switzerland-2023_4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Massimo-Prati-BV-released-in-Switzerland-2023_4-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Massimo-Prati-BV-released-in-Switzerland-2023_4-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Massimo-Prati-BV-released-in-Switzerland-2023_4-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bearded Vulture released in Melchsee-Frutt, 2023 \u00a9 Massimo Prati<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, with the aim of increasing genetic diversity within the Alpine population, captive-bred Bearded Vultures are still being released in key areas, such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/es\/blog\/bearded-vultures-released-in-berchtesgaden-national-park\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Berchtesgaden National Park<\/a> and in <a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/es\/blog\/strengthening-the-alpine-and-andalusian-bearded-vulture-populations-the-last-releases-of-this-season\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Melchsee-Frutt<\/a>, Switzerland.
